day ten

cooking:
i made a big batch of creamed spinach that didn't turn out as well as it did last time i made it but i was able to fix it a little. i ate a lot of that with tortilla chips and for dinner i roasted the rest of the asparagus and put it between two pieces of toast with mayo and vegan scallion cheese spread and olives and spinach and it was too salty but it did the trick.

*for some reason my phone is not syncing so i will upload the photo later*

watching+listening:
i listened to a great podcast episode from a show i know nothing about but i found it because brian dunning was being interviewed. he is a popular science writer and host of the long-running podcast skeptoid. obviously this was sparked by stuff jess has been sending me: interviews and books from quack doctors and snake-oil salesmen. that episode (which i listened to while walking sadie on the b2b path) is where i learned about the book Factfulness by hans rosling so now i'm really interested in checking that out next. i watched a ted talk by him and his son about how to make better estimates about the world and such, which i've already heard of before so it wasn't really news to me.
later dillon put on a movie that i already forget the name of with ray liota and scoot mcnary and that australian guy that we both like (how am i forgetting his name right now??). i was not into it at all.

reading:
i finished both ebooks: eleanor is completely fine and the bookish life of nina hill. i gave eleanor 4 stars and nina hill 3. they were cute which is different from what i normally read and i guess i could call the nina hill one a guilty pleasure read because it was sort of embarrassing but it was a nice change. after perusing the ebook selection on hoopla and libby i started reading a non-fiction book by anne bogel that i've been eyeing called don't overthink it. i'm gonna hopefully learn how to stop torturing myself and trust myself more. i miss reading physical books though so i may start suttree soon.
